Beyond that, the community you have fostered with the kids is a very nice bonus. She is making real friends!

Winter Break Camp Photos
Our 2021 Winter Break Camp was a blast. We worked on cold reads, improvisation, singing harmony, matching pitch, stretching and dance skills daily. We also enjoyed the incredible views and playground whenever possible. The kids also participated in karaoke fun, a New Year's Eve party, a Secret Santa gift exchange and a fun Storytime for the community.
Young performers are strongly encouraged to participate in a group class
before taking private voice lessons. Contact Miss Paige for more information.
PRE-SCHOOL COMBO: For creative preschoolers who have a knack for music and performance. These lessons explore acting, singing and piano at each 30 minute lesson.
PRIVATE VOCAL TRAINING: For all ages to help improve your overall vocal tone and technique. Learn to sing using proper breathing and placement. Develop songs in all musical genres and learn to perform or emote appropriately within the style.
BUCKET LIST BROADWAY TRAINING: For adults who have always dreamed of singing or picking up where they left off as a performer. Improve overall tone and technique using proper breathing and placement.
SPEECH & DEBATE COACHING: For homeschool students interested in competing in speech and debate competitions. Can be individual or duo performers. Includes assistance with speech editing or writing.
PUBLIC SPEAKING COACHING: For adults or students interested in becoming more persuasive and confident in their onstage or Zoom delivery. Learn to be interesting as a speaker, grab and maintain an audience's attention. Popular with Pastors, executives and other professionals in the public eye.

MISSION
A theater company created by a mom who
understands the unique needs of families.
Paige Productions Youth Theater is an exciting place where kids & teens can find fresh performance opportunities in the Fountain Hills & Scottsdale areas. This company works under a limited rehearsal schedule allowing students to participate in theater year-round. This format allows them to participate in other shows, school activities, studio dance programs and sports, while prepping for a theatrical production.
"Paige Productions is a great place for BUSY KIDS!"
The flexible rehearsal schedule allows kids to travel with their family on breaks
and gets kids home early on school nights.
We are happy to work around other activities & shows as much as possible. Our goal is to provide performing arts opportunities for busy kids, and help young performers make up for lost time due to the pandemic.
